Chiropractors offer natural solution
to stress-related ailments
More than six years on from the Christchurch earthquake,
many residents are still suffering from stress and stressrelated
ailments as a result of the event.
Dr Mary Patterson Chiropractor of
the Christchurch Wellness Centre in
Memorial Avenue says she is continually
hearing from patients about how stress
is affecting their lives and their health, a
lot of which can be directly linked to the
earthquakes.
“Stress on the body can be physical,
chemical or emotional. Emotional stress
can be caused through events such as the
earthquakes,” Mary says. “Physical stress
such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder
pain and headaches, can be the result of
activities such as gardening, or the result
of injury from an accident.
“Chemical stress can come about from
not eating the right foods, or it can be
from environmental causes. Chiropractic
care is a natural solution that enhances
the body’s natural ability to heal itself
from any of these stresses.”
Established in June 2016, the
Christchurch Wellness Centre’s focus is
on quality and results, with the services
of two fully qualified chiropractors,
Mary and her colleague Dr Priyanka
Tuank. Both studied chiropractic for five
years before graduating from the New
Zealand College of Chiropractic, and they

continue a lifelong education.
Before starting treatment, the two
practitioners ensure their patients fully
understand how chiropractic care works
in addressing their health problems
– that as a natural form of hands-on
health treatment, chiropractic uses spinal
adjustments to correct misalignments of
the spine and restore proper function to
the nervous system, helping the body to
heal naturally.
Massage and muscular therapy is
provided to relieve pain and compliment
the chiropractic care. There is also a
nutritionist on the Christchurch Wellness
Centre team, who advises patients on
what foods and supplements they need to
keep their body in balance and maintain
good health. Lifestyle advice is also given
if required, so patients understand how
they can achieve a healthier way of living.
